Ai is a tool I use a lot for code generation, research, image generation, and debugging. The words I publish on this site are my own unless explicitly stated from the top. There’s only one or two posts in this category.

The core of what this blog is, is my thoughts ideas, sharing experiences. The words are the important part. They are not perfect, I often do not spell or grammer check, and what is here is from a flow state of writing and very often not refactored.

I’m working on replacing my usage of google inline search apps with real apps, these are ones that I create and host on my own homelab. The first three that I created are mostly chatgpt based, with a bit of hand edit after the fact, uploaded to minio and become an app on my k8s-pages

I’m leaning on web wakelock to keep the screen on while these apps are running, primarily clos, timer, and stopwatch.

A large displya clock.

I’ve been posting on this site since 2016, when there was a huge rollout of layoffs at the company I was working at at the time. In fear of being laid off personal blog and side projects was at the top of the suggestions so off I I started looking at what I needed to do to start building my resume, having a went. This site is built on markata, more about that in the /colophon.

2023 was a very busy year for me and I started slowing down. About mid year I felt like I had a lot that I wanted to get out, but felt like I couldn’t, because I did not have the time to blog, so I added January 22, 2025 3 min read

This page is meant to be simple view into what is happening in my life right now. Inspired by @NowNowNow. and Derek Sivers.

Colophon a page that describes how the site is made, with what tools, supporting what technologies

All posts on this site are written by Waylon Walker, the typical content has changed and evolved over time. I go back and make a few corrections, but for the most part things stay pretty much as they were published originally.

This post is a work in progress.

Markata is the static site generator that I created to build my website about this site. I built it for me and I enjoy using it. I know everying it can do and I can extend it to do more easily. I have set it up for some friends to also use it and am proud that it helps them publish their content.

It’s a meme to create your own static site generator to make your website. Yes its funny, I don’t recommend it if your not ready for the level of work that comes with it, but at the end of the day it’s very rewarding and a great way to learn.

These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don’t have a link. These are dual published off of my thoughts.waylonwalker.com site. It’s a fully dynamically rendered site 2000’s style. Posts are stored in a database and instantly available. Almost all of the posts were written in a small <textarea> field within a chrome extension that I built for it.

These posts are intended to in two ways. One, link building for the author. I hope that I give the people helping me out along the way just a little bit of a boost. Two, they serve as a permanant commented bookmark for me to search, and come back to later when I have forgotten where I have seen something.

All thoughts posts cross posted to my site are prefixed with a thought balloon 💭.

👋 Hi, I am Waylon Walker. Husband, Father of two, and creator things on the web, learning, and teaching others. I play lots of Minecraft, make art, and skate everyday with my kids. I finish the day binging episodes of Big Bang Theory with my wife.

I believe in a decentralized platform where everyone has their own space on this internet to share their thoughts and ideas. I created my blogging platform from scratch to learn about building tools with pluggy and diskcache. I was frustrated with long build times, black holes of node modules, bloated pages, and a lack of built in SEO tools. Instead I built my own under funded, over dreamed, nearly undocumented framework to that I love and maintain.

I am a Senior Software Engineer specializing in building data pipelines and web platforms with python.
